President Bush To Speak Monday Evening, Will It Help ABC?
President Bush plans to speak to the nation on Monday, September 11, 2006, at 9:01 p.m. EDT. This will mark the 5th anniversary of 9/11.
White House press secretary Tony Snow said the administration had requested network time for the address at 9:01 p.m. EDT. The address is expected to run 16 to 18 minutes, he said.
The speech will come after Bush visits each of the attack sites, in New York, Shanksville, Pa., and the Pentagon, where terrorist hijackers used commercial airliners as weapons to kill nearly 3,000 people.
Snow said Bush’s address would not be a political speech or a charge to Congress for action. Rather, he said, it would be reflective of what Sept. 11 has meant and “how we move ahead as a country in making use of the lessons of Sept. 11.”
“It will have a note of optimism as well as sobriety about what we’ve been through,” Snow said.
If I follow the rumors correctly, Monday was the night that Bush gets slammed by the ABC movie “The Path To 9/11″. I would bet this is the doing to that dastardly Karl Rove! He planned this so that Bush won’t look bad for his part in the tragedy we call 9/11!
